when you say no wipe, does that include apps and settings? or just data stored on internal memory?

just flashing as i type......

will report back findings soon as possible. (coming from KG2)
[Galaxy S II General] byobodybag:
I just downloaded stock kg6 and a few roms, and here you are announcing kg5 and kg7.

Damnit, makes me want to hold on a bit before flashing. Still on kg3/Lite'ning.
[Galaxy S II General] Eysk:
Huh ..

Is it just me or does that Kernel Version look outdated?

2.6.35.7 vs 2.6.35.11 (which is what Ninpo's kernel is based on)

I'm guessing this is the same as the China KG4 "Update" which actually doesn't have the newest stuff inside.

As far as I gather.

Might just be me, though ;)

is it kg5 newer than kg6 ? damn these numbers do not make sense to me :(
[Galaxy S II General] silverwings2008:
These are KIES versions so have been officially released to the general public. The KG6 version that you talk about was a leaked official version only available in certain forums, which may have some bugs. I suspect we will find bugs in these new KIES versions too though!

Quick Guide for people who want to flash....

Download from HERE and extract.

Open Odin

Place file named "I9100XXKG5_I9100OXAKG5_I9100XXKG5" into PDA box

**ONLY "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" should be ticked - DO NOT TICK ANY OTHER BOX**

Click start......

Done!

I can confirm this is a non-wipe package aswell

Anyone knows where I can download the CSC files for KF1 or whatever region I want?

@Intratech what do you say which one is better ? kg5 or kg 7 ??????? or should i stay on leaked kg6 ? please answer me :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] Eysk:
You do realize it probably doesn't make much sense to try and address Samsung directly on these forums, right?

But then again, who knows .. *tinfoilhat: on*

Also, does anyone concur with my kernel theory or can else point out where I err?
[Galaxy S II General] eybee1970:
they will for sure read your post and fix asap ;)
[Galaxy S II General] madhunt3r:
Could you give me directly mail to Samsung Devs?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Dunno, haven't tested it as yet but if you are going to use one of the two then KG5 would be the one.
[Galaxy S II General] kirdroid:
Are you really asking this questions or just teasing everyone?
[Galaxy S II General] ravian29:
kg5 has the leatest build date, i think :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] Eysk:
You might want to start by looking on samsung.com :)
[Galaxy S II General] sohanlon07:
So is it worth going to from KG3?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Both of these and the leaked XXKG6 have the same build date: 27/07/2011
[Galaxy S II General] nicpol7:
so..official updates fof uk and rest of europe must be close..
[Galaxy S II General] painterceessie:
Oke,here we go again.

Let's flash this one to.

Lol
[Galaxy S II General] ranwej:
KG5 (Poland):

Tested and i can confirm that

No video in gtalk,

Display yellowish left side is still there like before (maybe less visible),

Gradient banding is still visible too.

Swype is now missing Slovak and Czech language :(
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
Are you asking or is that confirmation?
[Galaxy S II General] angelomaldito:
+1. I was about to flash the KG6 when I heard that it lost the video call capability on Gtalk, and no evidence of relevant improvement from KG3 was reported here. Therefore, I'm looking forward to hear what the early birds have to say about these novelties. :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
8 minutes left on my download of KG5. I'll let you know as soon as its flashed
[Galaxy S II General] sohanlon07:
Me too. I didn't bother because of the GTalk thing, though the flash banner fix was a biggie. I'd think about going straight to KG7 here but going to wait on some feedback first on whether its worth it or not.
[Galaxy S II General] Dr.Sid:
Please nudge me into right direction .. how can I unbrand the phone ? I have T-mobile Czech (ROM made by T-mobile Germany) .. and I want any original Samsung ROM, with 2.3.4, but with Czech. As I understand it, if I use ODIN, there is no problem flashing different ROM over my actual one. But I look samfirmware up and down, and I don't see any ROM with Czech in it, or I don't understand the naming convention.
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
Not sure about KG5. After flashing through Odin, phone went into a bootloop when trying to power on.
[Galaxy S II General] toxic1:
i had the same problem mate factory reset fixied it for me hope that helps :)
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
Thanks, factory reset did the trick
[Galaxy S II General] toxic1:
glad it worked mate maybe orther users should be warned that thay will lose data that way thats if the flash wipes everthing anyway i could not test has i had boot loop to
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
Confirmed, gtalk does not have video. The build is quite fast...first thing I noticed is that there is no lag when waking the device.
[Galaxy S II General] toxic1:
yep same no wake up lag phone seems faster

will do some more testing so far no probs i dont use gtalk

so thats not a prob for me
[Galaxy S II General] AllanJacques:
If anyone would kindly test kg7 I would be very grateful, since I am at work and can't test it myself...

Anyway, to root this stock rom I just need to flash an insecure kernel or can I go straight to ninphetamine?
[Galaxy S II General] sohanlon07:
Is everyone who has flashed had the bootloop issue? Phone not rooted so have no back up and couldn't be arsed having to go through all the installtions again.
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
You don't have to go through the installation again. Once it bootloops, hold down power, home key and power up. That will bring you to the 3e recovery page. Do a factory reset, reboot and it started fine.
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
No flash bug present afaik
[Galaxy S II General] bernard134:
so do i, but based on build time XXKG6 is later although both is 27 Jul 2011
[Galaxy S II General] sohanlon07:
Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant I couldn't be arsed with the phone wipe caused by the factory reset thus the data loss.

its a bit soon to coment on battery but looking at battery

i was thinking that to but i do see some difrences wake up lag has gone on kg5 was there on kg6 well for me it has gone also my wifi is so much beter now it was rubish on kg6 :)
[Galaxy S II General] silverwings2008:
I guess Samsung have decided to release the most stable with least problems rather than the newest. I'm on KG5 and all seems good so far. Looking at the build dates KG6 is only a few hours newer, not a lot of time to make significant improvements!

Ok.

The file is Gtalk_Video_CWM

Right?

Andrea
[Galaxy S II General] fajn.snek:
I think You are right, I am still waiting for CF or Insecure Kernel for KG5,

however on KG6 you could you update via CWM (how you saying), or you could use root expolorer to delete old version and instal new GTalk

Major p.i.t.a. this turned out to be... First it hanged on boot, and I had to wipe the personal data/settings. Then the connection hangs repeatedly on sync and download from market.

Back to KG6 for me. :(

--- Edit

I tried KG5.
[Galaxy S II General] ash969:
is it possible to root KG7??

overall, KG7 feels a lot quicker, let's hope that the battery life is also improved :)

[Galaxy S II General] unleashed12:
Noope, its a leaked build from samsung... its official in the sense that its made/signed by samsung but its not an official kies release or anything.
[Galaxy S II General] flyflot:
Update via CWM.

How do it?

Thanks.

[Galaxy S II General] radiobicho:
Thank you very much!!!! So XXKG5 IS OFFICIAL? :)
[Galaxy S II General] unleashed12:
Looks like it; I'm actually confused myself, currently using XXKG6 and don't know if its worth flashing this new KG5 or not; or how it differs from the "leaked" KG6. Meh, ill likely just wait to see what people say; KG6 works good enough for me at the moment.
[Galaxy S II General] DJTaurus:
Compared to KG5 or KG6?

Yes
[Galaxy S II General] ravian29:
download and flash kg6 kernal from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

you will see there is a new app called CWM, open it and restart your phone in recovery

then choose install zip from sd card, give path to zip. it will flash. thats it :)
[Galaxy S II General] ravian29:
there is not any big difference in between kg6 n kg5. The only difference is that kg5 is official but kg6 is leaked. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] flyflot:
Ok.

Thanks.

Oh really? If thats all then ill just keep using KG6. :) Problem Solved. Thanks

And I cant get back to Lightning 4.2 without a fullwipe... do not want that!
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
Flashing KG5 over KG6 results in bootloop which can only be solved with factory/data reset. So if you don't have a backup, be careful.
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
Yeah, that should be mentioned in the OP to forewarn people.
[Galaxy S II General] Endoran:
Why would they do a full release over KIES then? Could they be testing this on Poland? (And potentially Brazil, but no one has commented on KG7 yet...that I know of) :confused:

[Galaxy S II General] davidalow44:
I just flashed UHKG7 with the TTT CSC, which happens to be the original region configuration of my SG2 bought in the USA via Amazon. It appears to have the same minor KG5 problems noted in this thread, e.g. no SIP or video gtalk.

Interestingly enough, I had been using the KG1 release for the past couple of weeks without seeing any such problems. I'll hang on to KG7 simply because it puts me back on the Kies track.
[Galaxy S II General] radiobicho:
Anyone can give us a link to: Gtalk video and SIP for XXKG5, please? Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] Manafa:
For any new rom a lot of people said "the wake up lag is gone" and a lot of people said that the lag still there. Then a lot of people explain to the first group, that the wake up lag exist only on battery and never when the phone is plugged in to usb or charger, then this group of people don't say anything about this anymore. Deja vu in every new rom thread. Simply, the wake up lag will never gone, in my opinion. When the phone is on battery, the cpu go in sleep mode, lowering the frequency, so when you press the home button it takes time to wake. If this one second is so important for you and you prefer to sacrifice battery life for this, maybe some custom rom could help you. Or maybe I'm wrong and this is software problem.
[Galaxy S II General] afilopou:
Sounds you are correct :-) Guys try cm7 for example, you can see the "lag" there as well.I tried for a little the g6 and for my eyes everything was ok
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
With KG5, both Android OS bug and wake-up lag are still there.

I haven't seen any difference to KG6, so I don't think anyone on KG6 needs to flash this.
[Galaxy S II General] Krizp0:
Have you tried to maybe take out the power cord and let it rest for a minute? ;)

This repeats every time there's a new firmware... *sigh*
[Galaxy S II General] ardel:
What power cord? I'm on battery since 5 hrs ago
[Galaxy S II General] Krizp0:
I believe it when I see it.
[Galaxy S II General] Nitrile:
No difference on KG5 coming from KG6. in fact, better to stay away because of boot loops (unless you wipe your phone every flash).
[Galaxy S II General] blue265:
You are exactly right in this statement. I first noticed this on my SGS1 when the Gingerbread firmwares started coming out. With the home button 'lag' my battery lasted wayy longer. As you mentioned, it goes into a lower cpu state and will take a second to wake up but the battery lasts longer because of the lower cpu sleep state. I don't mind the small amount of lag to be honest because of the battery benefits are noticably improved over froyo. Although I do admit it isn't the best for us impatient folk.
[Galaxy S II General] ardel:
If I would know how to do that, I would prove it
[Galaxy S II General] kevnb:
Browser works perfect unlike the early leak, fantastic!
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
If you have usb cable connected, mp3 playing in the background, or some app or widget is keeping the device awake, you won't see the wake up lag.

Otherwise, wake up lag is definitely here with KG5 and it actually seems worse than KG6.
[Galaxy S II General] Manafa:
Just make a small movie with a camera. How you press the home button and it takes less than a 1/2 second to wake up.

TTT is Trinidad and Tobago not Brazil.

Is there any new function? Is there any bug is corrected?

Because I don't see any news about what's the reason for this update. Could anyone explain it?

3) Flash KG5 kernel back.

video player on all KG releases

I've search the forum and I can not find someone mentioned that the video player on all KG releases are kinda broken.

Firstly, the movie rotates according to the position of your phone which is really annoying. There is no option just to keep it landscape unless you disable rotation from the notification area.

Secondly, there is no back button any more even though it says press the back button on screen.

Anyone notice this as well? or is it just me. for now I am sticking to KF3 as I watch a lot of films when traveling.
